If Conor has another gassing incident, will he be considered a cardioless bruiser?

[BigMuffler]

We all know which fighters are typically identified as being this archetype - they are usually big for their weight class, muscular, have massive power, and of course iffy gas tanks. One of them fought and lost two nights ago. If Conor gasses early again, will he then be considered part of this group? He does not seem to have the 'bruiser' image so far due to his emphasis on movement, 'precision beats power, timing beats speed' etc, but some cardioless bruisers are also technically sound - for example Overeem is one of the best technical strikers at HW, but prior to going Econo mode Reem was considered a cardioless bruiser.

Conor is big for FW, muscular, and hits very hard - if he continues to show a cardio weakness, will he become one of the smaller representatives of this group?

I consider him Quitter McTapper, midget crusher.

Conor Alexander

 

[joeyjoejoe]

No he'll just be another loudmouth who chocked when it mattered most.

 

[Chain Saw]

His cardio is fine, he just punched himself out trying to KO Nate.

He was fighting at an unsustainable pace.

Anyone wouldve gassed throwing and missing like that.

there are worse things to be....

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Exposed and everyone will no why he worked so hard to look like a zombie to make 145.

 

[cade187]

He didn't gas; he got boxed up.

 

[edco76]

Nahh, I think he just got his ass kicked.

You always have an interesting way of looking at things dont you?

 

[Blayt7hh]

He's not what I would call a bruiser

 

[pick999]

its hard to keep with diaz bros

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Conoreem

 

[Gabe]

there are worse things to be....

He hit him with an uppercut as he was falling down. Just brutal.

 

[sberg]

OUCH!!!!

 

[DaveHilly]

I think you can only lose so many times and still strike fear into opponents. If he keeps gassing like that then people will just realize that all they have to do is tire him out.

Does that mean that everyone will be able to do that? Heck no, but he'll be in that Anthony Pettis position where people are kinda figuring out that you can beat the guy by not engaging with him.

 

[reveler]

he will be in serious baroni territory

shine box

One of the more vicious knockouts in modern UFC I can remember. Rumble is an animal.
